We have been in our home for coming up to 15 years. I absolutely love my home, but about five years ago we had new neighbours moved in next door. At first they seemed perfectly fine, but as the months have passed by, they seem to be competing with everything we do. It doesn’t seem to matter what we do, they always have to copy us, but always trying to get the better of us.
Take last year for instance, we had to have new double glazing fitted to windows on the front of our house. They had to go one better and have the whole house double glazed!
Recently my husband has actually parted with some cash and got a new car, well I say new, it is new to him, but not brand new. What do they go and do, buy a brand new car. I say more fool them though because everybody knows that as soon as you drive out of a garage forecourt in a new car, the car devalues just like that.
I have a feeling that just for once I might just get the upper hand. On the back of their house they have this really old conservatory that to be totally honest doesn’t fit in at all with the surrey conservatories theme.
I am going to go bigger and better and play them at their own game. Currently I am doing a spot of research into which conservatory might suit the style of our home.
I am probably the same as pretty much everybody else and have started my search using the internet. So far I have researched Victorian Conservatories Surrey as well as Edwardian Conservatories Surrey. Some of the results I have found are absolutely brilliant and I am confident that whichever style I decide to go with, it is going to look so much better than next doors decrepit piece of glass.
Having said all that though I can imagine they are the sort to knock down their conservatory and get the builders in to quote for a brand new extension!!
